DATING NAKEDâ CAST MEMBER SUES AFTER CROTCH-BLUR FAIL â [JESSIE NIZEWITZ SAYS VH1 SHOWEDÂ EVERYTHING!]
VH1 looked more like the Playboy Channel when it carelessly aired an uncensored crotch shot during an episode of the reality show âDating Naked,â a star of the show claims in a new lawsuit.
Jessie Nizewitz, 28, says she was repeatedly promised by the producers that her private parts would be âblurred outâ during the showâs third episode taped in May.
But when it aired on July 31, Nizewitzâs crotch was clear as day as she wrestled with her date on the beach, according to the $10 million suit filed in Manhattan by her lawyer, Matthew Blit.

âMy grandma saw it. I saw her this week and she didnât have much to say to me. Sheâs probably mad. My parents are just annoyed,â Nizewitz lamented.
The Long Island beauty has worked with famed fashion designer and convicted pedophile Anand Jon, who counted a whoâs who of Hollywood stars as his friends, including Paris Hilton and Jessica Alba.
Nizewitzâs suit names Viacom, which operates VH1, and two production companies, Firelight Entertainment and Lighthearted Entertainment.  âI think they owe me a huge apology,â Nizewitz said.She added that the show cost her a âbudding relationshipâ with a man she had been seeing for a month.
âHe never called me again after the show aired. I would have hoped we could have had a long-term relationship. He was employed, Jewish, in his 30s and thatâs pretty much ideal,â Nizewitz said.
Viacom, Firelight and Lighthearted did not immediately return calls for comment.
